[chirp_users] New chirp-next build

[K0LNY_Glenn]

What you can do is to install VmWare, and download windows 10, and authorize windows 10 with your windows 7  key, and when you  want to launch Chirp, first launch windows 10 in a Hypervisor like VmWare, and install Chirp there.
I prefer 7 too, so I did the opposite, installed 10 as the host, then put 7 in VmWare as the guest OS, and use 7 for just about everything, and if I have to use 10, I toggle out of 7 and use 10.

Tony, you are correct although just because Microsoft doesn't support Windows 7 doesn't mean a program can't still work on Windows 7. there are a lot of hams I know that are still using Win-7 like I am and it runs very stable for all my applications except Chirp-Next. So now I have to use the older version of Chirp and am forced to get a newer machine with Windows 10 or 11 just to use the Next version of Chirp. Then I have to reinstall all the other programs onto the new machine. We hams are cheap and/or live on a fixed income. Look at the majority of hams. I do like the fact there is a new version of Chirp, I just wish I could use it on my machine. i was even tempted to send in a donation until I found out I couldn't use it. Like I said, I do wish it would have been more apparent that the new next version of Chirp will not run on Win-7.
